- Find Your Perfect Ski Job with SZN
SZN โย Created by Seasonaires, for Seasonaires
SZN was originally started out of the mutual frustration of three friends, as well as thousands of other seasonaires across the world, to address the difficulty of finding jobs in ski resorts. In fact, Tyler Cant, one of the co-founders, flew to Whistler without a job only to find plenty of opportunities available that simply werenโt listed online.
The more they spoke to employers and candidates, the more they realised the true scale of the problem. This is a fragmented hiring market, left relying on outdated solutions to complex staffing issues. Most companies donโt have dedicated software for managing applicants โ and those that can afford it are using corporate systems that donโt know a Cartes de Sรฉjour (French Visa) from a ski boot.
So they set up SZN with the mission to provide solutions to both sides. They save companies quantifiable time and money by streamlining their hiring, bringing those fragmented processes all into one place. Similarly, on the candidate’s side, their goal is to make it as easy as possible to discover the right jobs, understand the companies behind them, check visa requirements, and showcase themselves in the best light to employers.
A Quick How-Toโฆ
SZN was created by seasonaires, for seasonaires โ so theyโve tried to make it as simple as possible to create an account and find job opportunities.
Hereโs a quick guide on how to set up an account today:
- Visit: www.sznofficial.com
- Sign up and create a profile
- Upload past experience, a CV, and a cover letter โ the more detail, the better!
- Wait for the jobs to come out on 1st June
- Apply, get hired, and begin the best year of your life!
So, the account is ready to go โ now what?
As SZN moves into its second hiring window, it’s presented with an exciting opportunity for more people to find seasonal work and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here’s how to get set up on the site and have the best chance to succeed next winter.
Their First Piece of Advice: Start Early
Especially for those looking at Europe. They have jobs going live on the 1st June for resorts all across the continent. The reason for this is that companies need time to process employees, particularly if someone is applying without an EU passport.
Companies also donโt wait for a pile of CVs to build up โ if they see someone they like, theyโll move quickly. So, the earlier someone applies, the greater their chances of securing a role.
Second: Set Up the SZN Profile Properly
Here are their top 3 tips to get noticed by employers:
- Tell employers exactly why you want to do a season
This isnโt a corporate job. Companies want to see genuine enthusiasm, whether for the mountain lifestyle, skiing, or something else. They know it isnโt easy or cheap to live and work in a ski resort, so theyโre looking for people who truly buy into the culture.
On a SZN account, thereโs a section titled โWhy do you want to do a season?โ โ a great chance to show employers that the applicant cares and is ready to make the most of the opportunity. - Make sure to sell yourself
A lot of people rush their profiles and just upload a CV and a generic cover letter. Thatโs not how SZN is meant to work. One of the main attractions for employers using their platform is the additional insight they get into each candidate โ so applicants should take advantage of that!
One of the best tools available is video. SZN has a section where users can upload a URL of a short video talking about their past experience and why they want to work in the mountains. This is gold dust to employers. It shows initiative, effort, and a bit of personality โ especially important for customer-facing roles. - Do your research
While the SZN system makes it easy to apply to multiple companies using one account, that shouldnโt become an excuse for a one-size-fits-all approach.
Applicants should take the time to research each company, read its SZN profile, and get a feel for its values and setup. Some roles are highly team-based; others are more independent. Tailoring applications based on the kind of season they want increases the likelihood of finding a good fit.
One Final Thought
Ski seasons have become harder to secure, especially since Brexit, with visa restrictions adding more complexity for Brits. Thatโs why itโs more important than ever for applicants to stand out and give themselves the best chance of success.
SZN gives them a platform to do just that. With some of the biggest and best employers from around the world using the platform, theyโve built a strong reputation for attracting quality candidates. Thatโs because theyโve been there. They know what itโs like to apply, and theyโre passionate about helping others have that same incredible experience.
Because honestly, those years doing ski seasons were the best of their lives โ and now theyโve built their careers around helping others do the same.
Stay Connected with SZN
The best way to stay up to date with everything happening in the world of SZN is by following them on social media. Whether itโs breaking news on job launches, updates on visa changes, insider tips, spotlighted roles, or behind-the-scenes content from the resorts and companies they work with, theyโll be sharing it all across their channels.
They also post advice from past seasonaires, day-in-the-life videos, and real-time updates on hiring windows, so whether someone is applying or just considering their first season, itโs the easiest way to stay in the loop.
